Perspectives

I recently returned from babysitting my two Oklahoma grandchildren.  I was rewarded with high-quality time with the kids.  They change so fast between visits, and it is a joy to spend time with them.

I took advantage of the free recycling event on Friday, Aug. 11th at the UW-Marinette.  I got there at noon when the event was supposed to start. The line was very long already. I spent 90 minutes inline to drop off my old stuff that needed to be recycled. All the time the vehicles were all idling as the line kept slowly moving along. I wonder how much gasoline was used and air pollution generated by the vehicles while recycling? The line when I finished was longer than when I got there.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many community minded individuals who dedicated their time to assist with the rain garden planting at the M&M Plaza this past Saturday.

This accomplishment was the final step in a three-year process undertaken by the M&M Area Community Foundation’s Board of Directors through the leadership of our Resilient Future Committee.

While we were on our camping trip in Canada, I got to hear an impromptu concert.  While sometimes music can be a source of friction in campgrounds, I doubt that was the case this time.
